Abstract: | The problem of the slip of a rigid infinitely long cylinder along a viscoelastic foundation in the presence of friction forces dependent on the slip rate is solved in a linear quasistatic arrangement. The effect of the rheological characteristics of the foundation material and other factors on the point displacement of the surface in front of the moving cylinder is studied. Rather good agreement is obtained between theoretical and experimental data.Institute of Mechanics of Metal-Polymer Systems, Academy of Sciences of the Belorussian SSR, Gomel'.
